Submitted by Robin Turrell of proud parent of a child with Autism – Deadline to sign up by: 12 November 2008 – Signatures: 306
Its about time children with Autism had at least one school in their own county that was open to them. Autism schools are very few but children with autism are very many. Why are they being ignored. Stuffed into mainstream schools and special schools where The understanding of autism is nearly Non existent. The schools that do exist are nearly all private and the chances of a place have bigger odd's that winning the lotto. These children are being let down and most are being bullied by students and teachers alike. They need somewhere they can be literal and show there differences and be autistic .Not forced to try and be like everyone else for the sake of school rules and so teachers can have a quiet life.
Please Help To give Autistic children a happy place and understanding place to learn in. AUTISM IS A REASON NOT AN EXCUSE
